Well, if we need one good PRO for this website as to why to use technology in the classroom,   we work on technology at school on a monthly basis and I believe this would be an excellent resource to introduce to my colleagues during one of these meetings.  The website gives scenario of the 20^th century versus the 21^st century classroom.  Also, the website explains that technology is the tool that students use to create knowledge and to create personal and social change which is so true.

The website explains the importance of the need for technology in the classroom not only through standards, but also through publications.  The site also explains exactly what the 21^st century classroom is.
